Another cute volume of Lumberjanes! Not a lot happens in terms of the overarching plot, but it's still fun to see what kinds of shenanigans they can all get up to even if it should just be a rainy day where they are all supposed to stay inside. ;) I liked that we got to see two separate and extremely different ways of passing the time, and I always love seeing more of Barney and Artemis and campers from other cabins.
These are really a lot of the same. Which is... Fine. I'd like some more variety of situations or interests. I gave it a 4 star bc I really liked the art, I'm glad they moved on. I did not love the artist from 11 & 12.
This volume really made me aware of exactly my issues and praises for these. Volume. 13: Indoor Recess is told in 2 distinct story lines, one where a few of our characters play an intense board game, the other where the other half of our main squad discover secret magical creatures and end up in mortal peril. One of those sounds like the obvious filler section, but Lumberjanes has showed us so many similar vaguely spooky creatures for the girls to run away from and beat with the power of friends...
I loved the split story in this volume. The invented board game that’s a cross between dnd and Catan was so fun Can’t wait to see what sort of mischief they get in to in the next volume
There wasn't much of a story for this volume. The characters didn't seem to be true to their past selves. The drawing was really different; Mal looked like a different character. I'm not sure why things changed so dramatically from the last volume to this one, but it was a disappointing read.
A heavy storm has all the Lumberjanes stuck in the games hut where a number of them get caught up beat testing Emily's new games as three of the Roanokes find a little adventure underground. Back to feel-good almost-horror adventuring with multiple character development and some ongoing mystery deepenings. Now that;s a mouthful! Love the volume artist's name is Dozedraws! 6 out of 12. In the land of exclamations using iconic women from history, did I hear a Maria Sibylla Merian? Here's some of h...
I don't normally read graphic novels, but one favorite series of mine has been the Lumberjames which are a bit like the Girl Scouts but with a magical twist. It has been a wee while since we have had a Lumberjane graphic novel but I noticed the other day that we had on order volumes #13 -15 and so I put them on hold. I have to admit this wasn't a favorite volume of mine as the team was split up and it just didn't have the same oomph and connection that the Lumberjanes main girls have in the past...
By stretching the definition of "inside" in a way that is very much in keeping for these characters, what sounds like a bottle episode manages to turn into one of their more active adventures. There are two stories going - one exploring oversized insects and dark paths below the camp, and the other a tabletop game that continuously grows in size and complexity. I enjoyed both plots a lot, although I think the game story gets the nod as the favored just because of Artemis' involvement.The art, th...
I enjoyed this one! I think in this one, the creators took a step away from the traditional plot of the Lumberjanes novels and they did something a bit different and I really liked it! I liked how we were following two different stories throughout the volume and we were flipping between the two. I liked how there were other characters besides the Roanokes who were actually getting screentime!! Barney, aka the love of my life and the reason I'm still reading this series. Unfortunately, I still fi...
4 stars!
Fun storyline in this episode.
This series is so uneven, blech. Just when it had gotten good again, this volume is pure filler. Slim on action, no character advancement, no plot. The only appeal is the celebration of board game nerds.Another new artist takes over, someone named “Dozerdraws” which I can only assume is some kind of art A.I. I was not impressed.
4.5 starsSuch a fun read that really brought me back to indoor recess as a kid!I absolutely loved the transitions between Mal, Ripley, and April in the tunnels and the remainder of the group (with our returning side characters) playing a vicious and complicated board game. They were very entertaining and kept the pace moving. The tunnels were super cool (and such a mystery as to why they exist) and the idea of massive ancient bugs terrifies me. Also I would totally lose a board game like Penterr...
Story The story was fine, but nothing special. I feel like the series has sort of been running in place a bit. I still enjoy spending time with the Janes, but I'm kind of glad they are planning to wrap things up. Artwork I've lost track of who the artists have been. I couldn't really tell you if this is the same artist as the previous volume or a new one. I think the artwork is always fine, but has never really blown me away.
I didn't love this one quite as much as the previous installments in the series.
3.5 starsBUGSAlso wish they could get a consistent artist for the series.
Never a dull moment with this crew:)
3.5 stars. An improvement over the previous volume. This felt simpler but fun and a different story structure. New artist - I like better than some previous ones. Wish the series would get back to the longer story arcs though.
This made me laugh, as always. Still, while I enjoyed the ridiculously complicated boardgame half the team were playing, I have to say I like them better when they're all in a group.
This was a fun volume with two diff stories happening between the group. I always rate them high because it’s so filled with friendship, fun, and exciting adventures.
